People have always told me that in college, you will meet so many different people, and I couldn't agree more. College has brought me some of the funniest, loving and caring people that I've ever met, and we have created a bond that will last a lifetime. On the contrary, college has also brought me my blunt, and brutally honest best friend.

When I come to you with a problem, I know that the advice you give me will always show how you really feel, and probably how I should be feeling about the situation too. You don't apologize for being blunt, you don't apologize for possibly hurting my feelings, and I would never ask you to because you're always telling me the truth, the truth that I often do not want to hear, but need to. When I am faced with a challenging situation, you are the best person to go to because your honesty always makes me remember the person that I am and how I should never settle for being treated poorly by anyone.

Sometimes I wonder where I would be if we hadn't become such close friends, and I remember all the times you've given me advice. Even though I don't see you all the time, the texting conversations with about one hundred screenshots about the latest dilemma in my life make up for it. And when I do see you, you always give me the "I may not agree with your decision but I will always tell you the truth and still support you" speech, just as a little reminder about our friendship. If it wasn't for you, I would probably be still hung up on that shitty boy who took days to call me back, and I wouldn't have someone who is always willing to stand up for me against anyone no matter what.

So, what i'm trying to say is, yes, you're mean, and i've never heard you sugar coat any of the advice you've given me, but you do it in the most caring way possible. You're not afraid of the truth and you're certainly not afraid to share it with me. You might be a little rough around the edges, but for that I couldn't be more grateful.

To my best friend who isn't afraid to tell it like it is, thank you for your honesty, thank you for your friendship, and thank you for being you.
